What I've gained from TTGP...

MrsTran021310

I've gained friendships that am able to be completely open.  I love that I can come to TTGP and discuss CM, or sex pros & cons or anything else for that matter and people care.  I love having friendships where I can be that open and not get judged. 

 What have you gained from TTGP?

The best thing are my friends. And more support than I could have ever hoped for.

Edited: grammar police!

I've gained a wealth of knowledge about TTC from ovulation, to timing of sex, to charting my temps, and etc aside from the wonderful friendships I have acquired.

Edit to finish my thought.

The beginnings of beautiful friendships! And also, confirmation that I am indeed not crazy, and in fact quite normal, to be thinking all the thoughts I think about TTGP.

I am so grateful that I learned about FF from here. With my long cycles, I would be driving myself crazy. But now that I chart and can be more aware of my body, it's much less frustrating!

I have gained friends who support me when I need it and knowledge about my body, diagnoses, health care providers, and treatments.  I honestly don't know what I would do without you all.  I'd be clueless about nearly everything, that's for darn sure.

The knowledge I have gained here is amazing! I started out TTC thinking that all I had to do was have unprotected sex and I would get pregnant I know soooooo much more now, thanks to everyone here

A TON of knowledge about TTC, comfort from women with similar fertility issues (support from even those that don't, but are just so caring), and lots of good laughs and entertainment (which is super important, because sometimes this process can get so overwhelming!!). I love this board and the lovely ladies on here

Awwwww!  You are amazing!  Hey, nice chart by the way!!!!!

All of the above!  You ladies are always here to talk about this stuff.  It gets to DH sometimes and he doesn't quite understand all the little (or big depending on how you look at it) things that go into TTC.  You women are never annoyed, and actually want to hear about it.  I love the friendships, sense of humor and generosity you all share.

What I've gained from TTGP....

5 pounds. (I spend hours on here, all while enjoying snacks.) HaHa

Seriously, I thought that I knew how to get pregnant. I thought that I knew a lot about conception, cycles, etc. I was sadly mistaken.

The biggest thing I've learned is patience. I am such an impatient person, and I this is a quality that I am learning from you girls.

Knowledge, support and some TTGP entertainment to get me through cycles.  I'm thankful that I know how my body works, that there is no perfect ideal 28 day cycles, and that the majority of my past trips to the gyno (OMG almost put Vet) were unnecessary.

  good thread mrstran!

punkymama

Like others have stated, tons of knowledge but most importantly friends that understand me and what I am going through!

AndBabyWouldMake5

Sooooo much knowledge.  My DH is  doctor and sometimes I tell him things and he's like "Huh?  Darn Bump!"

Amen.

And a few extra pounds thanks to all of the talk about wine!

In addition to a wealth of knowledge about fertility, I've actually become a lot more open in life since I starting posting here.  I'm pretty shy and can throw up a lot of walls IRL, even with my DH, but this board has taught me that it's ok to get things off your chest once in a while.

It's also nice just to know there's tons of other women out there who feel the way I do about TTC - we obsess over temps and CM changes, wonder if we should be humping it out, we stress over our friends and family finding out and/or giving us wacky TTC advice.
